Chiefs at Chargers Week 2 Pre Game Discussion

[Topcat]

Casual fans have no business
arguing with the
sophisticated algorithms
of the wu-dai Scouting Bureau.

What is the Wu-Dai Scouting Bureau's analysis of Tyrod? Does he have the skillset to consistently sustain long drives, eat up the clock, and successfully run our red zone offense? I saw a whole lot of 3-and outs vs. the Bengals. That does not bode well when we play good or elite teams...

w-d SB looked at both the first half
and the second half tape...

it took amazing luck and the Chargers playing very well to beat last year's worst team....... seriously with Taylor at QB, there is zero chance to make the playoffs....... Taylor made playoffs in BUF by barely beating 9 bad teams in very low scoring games...... Taylor was blown out by every good team they played........ name any other team that we could beat scoring only 16 points???......

Taylor does not have the precision or accuracy to complete tight passes over the middle or in the endzone....... that is why he only throws up safe passes to the sidelines where ball will either be caught by williams or incomplete.....

The only solution is to start Herbert as soon as possible...... so he can actually start learning something..... cant learn much standing on sidelines....... there is zero benefit to playing taylor...... he is not our future and he is not going to lead this team to the playoffs..... we are not going to beat more than a couple of teams just trading FG's....... KA(and our other receivers) need a QB who can zip them the ball into tight NFL windows.....

Taylor is by far the worst of the 4 AFC West QB's...... Herbert has the physical skills to compete in the current pass-happy NFL......

The best solution is to sit Herbert for a year. Maybe have him play the last game of the season like Mahomes. We’re not going anywhere this year so let the rookie sit and learn. There’s a lot of things he still needs to work on including his fundamentals, which cannot do during live bullets. You can maybe make an argument that he should be playing this season but this shortened offseason means a big fat no. And if Lynn and Co were smart, they’ll hold him out until next year and not give in to temptation to save their jobs.

Also barring a miracle we’re not going to beat the Chiefs or the Saints. So that’s two losses there. Probably lose to the Bucs as well. After that, the games become more manageable.

I'm very split on this myself
I think we all agree that all efforts should be to get our future QB ready as soon as possible but there are different ideas on how to do that.

If the kid is truly missing fundamentals then it makes sense to sit him until he shows progress
Which btw should come from hours practicing independently which I hope he's doing on off days
Imo if you rush a qb out there, they revert to what they know and can't develop any new good habits into muscle memory, so let the kid sit

In the meanwhile you give Tyrod his likely last chance in this league as a starter, to lead this team.
That way we leave no stone unturned and if we make the playoffs with Tyrod, Lynn legitimizes his philosophy

He is raw and only really worked on mechanics after college was over. He needs to continue working on that until it becomes second nature. Other things needed is learning to study film and read defenses.

W-d SB has a lot of patience

Sports bar with giant patio had all the games available for observation.

Haskins of WAS and Tyrod had similar stories...tale of two halfs.

You know Spanos...AL will be here for several more years.

Campen has got us run blocking pretty good.

Field position...I am mad we tried a figgie towards the end,
instead of pinning Burrow in with a pooch punt.

It's the little things...

If the Tyrod we see this week can play the entire game as he played the second half in Cincy, we have a chance against the Chiefs. If he plays as he did in the first half we are doomed.

The Safeties have got to come on too.

I agree. We also need to still have a pass rush in the fourth quarter.

Yep.
There's "in shape."
And
There's "in football shape."

I admit.
Tyrod's gonna be torture if he doesn't get beyond that first half.
He wore Joey out.
